FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY

The invention relates to the cross technical fields of electronic Identity management and information safety, specifically to a method to protect electronic Identity information based on key derived operation.

DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ARTS

Substantial changes have happened in people's lives and working methods in the network age, and personal material and spiritual benefits can be both reflected in the information network. Since 2011, the internet secret-spilling incident detonated the whole information safety community; leading to the traditional user+password way cannot meet the existing safety needs anymore. The secret-spilling data includes: tianya: 31,758,468 items, CSDN: 6,428,559 items, microblog: 4,442,915items, renren: 4,445,047 items, maopu: 2,644,726 items, 178: 9,072,819 items, duduniu: 13,891,418 items, 7K7K: 18,282,404 items, Adobe: 1.5 hundred million, Cupid Media: 42000 thousand, QQ database: more than 6 hundred million, Forbes: 1000 thousand, close to 900 million, and so on. The internet changes with each passing day, and all kinds of applications emerge in endlessly, and users usually have same registered habit, that is, using same username and password for accounts on different websites. So the user's information in one website spills, it may be spilled indirectly in other applications in the internet, and it will easily forms butterfly effect of secret-spilling, that is the private date of the users' name, ID card No., address, credit card No., address list, messages, photos, GPS location information and so on of the associated accounts are copied, exposed, sold and bought, then the users will suffer the problems of advertising promotion, spam bombing, telephone harassment, malignancy cheat, blackmail and so on.

Therefore, “Decision related to enhancing the protection of information of the network”, shows that electronic Identity management has become the current focus issue concerned by all across the country. Carrying out electronic Identity management, in terms of the whole social public area, can prevent effectively from the phenomenon of inundate of false information, bad information caused by abuse of Internet virtuality; in terms of people's livelihood service, can provide social public service, and provide convenience for citizens; in terms of commercial service, can solve the problem of network transaction integrity, which is an urgent demand for the harmonious development of our society. Entering big data age, realizing electronic Identity management not only needs to identify and verify the authenticity and effectiveness of citizens' network identity, but also needs to prevent several applications from revealing personal private information caused by active (commercial data exchange) or passive (information be dragged out of a database) account information converge and data analysis, then direct or indirect damage will be caused by this.

Existing account management system self-built by each rely party (that is provider of network application service) has serious defect in terms of personal electronic Identity identify veracity and identity information protection, the big scale information revealing as above is caused and serious damage has caused for the rely party itself and its users.

The proposal “relevance comparison” widely used at present, during the process of completing identity information verify, causes the revealing of personal identity information easily, and it will cause a whole revealing of all personal network behavior in big data environment, which will cause the damage more serious.

The electronic Identity (eID for short) is an authority electronic information document proving personal identity remotely on the network, signed and issued uniformly by “Ministry of Public Security citizen electronic Identity identify system”, which is based on cryptographic algorithm, carried by secure chips, and used to prove the identity remotely on the network for the citizens, its coding has protected true personal identity information in design. But under the account information converge and data analysis condition if all facing rely part uses only code, personal identity information is still easily to be revealed. So, a method of generating electronic Identity code of facing rely part needs to be designed to solve the problems of electronic Identity management and personal privacy protection under big data environment safely and effectively.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
